How I Shot this Photo with Only 1 Light

Today I’m bringing you behind the scenes on my most recent studio shoot with Isabella! I am using a combination of 2 v-flats and a hard, direct light (the Profoto A2) to create a dramatic slice of light onto our subject… I hope you enjoy the process🔦

It's crazy how you wouldn't expect such beautiful low-light shots to come out of it when the studio was still kind of bright.

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

When using a high shutter speed and high ISO you’re not getting available light in the studio that’s why those pictures turn out the way they are!

[@ctrlaltdeldavid]

So cool to see how far you’ve evolved in your photography! Great work as always❤❤

[@MrChrissiShow]

Wow, I’m completely lost for words… Crazy how you’re making it look easy although I know it’s not 😅 thanks for sharing, I hope one day I’ll get close to your skill level - until then, looking forward to seeing more great videos from you and learning a lot from them :)

[@josephchan4198]

Awesome!! Glad to see the dancer and your work again.

[@Official3TAN]

Amazing works as always! Thanks for the BTS video 📸👏💯

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@Mrfoug]

Do you charge Isabella as a normal client? Reckon you need to pay your bills right? :) The photos looking amazing :)

[@sols9449]

She’s so beautiful and you made her look like a goddess. Love this shoot!!

Fantastic! Love the dramatic lighting and poses.

[@chadroberts44]

Brandon you're brilliant!

[@blakec3323]

Hey Brandon, New to the channel and just subscribed. Great content, so will definitely be making my way through your other videos. One thing which would be cool is if you could say what kind of settings you're using for these kind of shoots. Keep up the great work.

[@veeboogie2356]

A must try in my studio

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Go for it!!

[@Slattwilliams]

I really wish you uploaded more you are my favorite photographer dope shots and video

[@janetelsworthy1710]

[@_DeltaDrive_]

May I know what were your camera setting? great work btw

[@MrCameraShy]

Great video Brandon, huge fan of your work. Definitely want to see more bts from your photoshoots

[@Arial-up5zx]

Nice shot!! How do you call the rectangle blocks standing there?

[@NGMIPodcast]

Cool pics from a cool guy

[@eluve38chill4]

You my friend are very talented and of course the model is gorgeous. Now I know why I follow you. Keep the videos coming.

[@mika2639]

[@RubenVargasAlfaro]

I really noticed you exploring new world. This is awesome again

[@nickbarhamphotography3860]

Amazing shots. Love that lighting effect ❤

[@joostmak]

Great photos !! and great idea for making photos ......

[@jasonlacey5979]

First class.. great to have such a vibrant suject.

[@ms.andreeam]

One thing I really love is that you take your time composing when you shoot and not just take 10000 shots of the same frame. 🤍

[@upbypnw]

Soooo good man! 👏

[@meysam999]

good shot thank you for supporting me🙏

[@michaelgolderer]

Great shots😍😍😍

[@meeshyeesh1416]

I’m noticing the A2 isn’t firing with every shot. Does it not do high speed sync? Makes me think twice about buying it cause it’s on my list!

[@its_gireesh]

My man grew a moustache by the time shoot got over, CRAZY!

[@BrandonWoelfel]

LMFAOOOOOOO

[@AloneAntonin]

Love the behind the scenes !

[@amersarari9987]

First❤️ Love u

[@jeromeh3605]

Thanks for this BTS. Isabella is amazing. :-)

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Always🫶✨

[@waky123]

perfect man

[@dikophotography]

Your images went gorgeous 🤩

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Appreciate that!❤️

[@andysmith8031]

Fantastic shots. Will that look work with just a flash and v flat's but without the flash modifier?

[@adamlpatten]

Buying a flash as we speak!! These are stunning, I actually can't believe it

[@BrandonWoelfel]

That’s so exciting! and thank you so much☺️

[@osiasatantu8087]

Lovely may someone help with the name of the rond ball laying around please

[@donventura2116]

I'm new to photography and I'd like to create similar low light photos. To get this look, with a darker background and brighter highlights, is it mainly achieved through lower shutter speed?

[@nickstayballin]

Can you tell me how you feel about the z7 II I’m I’m trying to figure out if I want that camera or the z9

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

Z9 is great. Been using it for a year now. IMO you get everything from Z7ii plus ergonomics, longer battery life and customization. The articulating screen in portrait orientation is a back saver.

[@amberly0317]

Loving the stache!! Thanks for sharing this awesome setup 😍

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Haha thank ya😉✨

[@solomonsokoya1126]

What are you using that is covering the light source?

[@adziak]

incredible shots! Good job Brandon.

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Thanks a ton!!

[@AlejandroLopez-pj3eh]

Whats the name of the studio you used?

[@FrankP83]

Great shots Brandon...!Just a note, if I can give a suggestion, talks more with the model during the shooting...I think that having a constant feedback from you can help...my 2cents 😃

[@joshshanks7966]

was about to comment how weird it was that he didn't seem to direct or set up his shots, kinda felt like he was just a human camera and not a photographer at that point

[@PacsunOfficial]

Awesome!

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Love you Pacsun😉

[@versieadams6680]

Nice job, I really like the shadows

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Appreciate that❤️✨

[@LowLightLowzMedia]

Awesome work!!!

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Means a lot! Thank you

[@bers9669]

ngl you kinda look like johnny sins. anyway, love your work! (as a photographer)

[@vizXRL]

Amazing! What were your camera settings, if I may ask?

[@ruffprophetproductions]

mans grew a mustache in 6 min 😲

[@BrandonWoelfel]

Lololol I filmed that other clip days later!

[@IamAW]

Nice video and shoot! See you next year! 😘
